Richard Passed Away at 94

Richard Gregory, 1919-2013

Richard Gregory, former resident of 5th Street, passed away November 4 in Kahoka, MO, his home.

I was told that "Richard Gregory" had died—but I didn't know a "Richard Gregory." To be honest, there are many Rockport 35 RV Park guests whose last names I do not know. With Linda's help, I finally figured it out: It was "Richard," the tall fellow up on 5th with the great sense of humor.

Four-and-a-half years ago, we celebrated Richard's 90th birthday. It was a great gathering and Richard enjoyed it, as he did most happenings, large or small. These pictures were taken at that event.

Some friends thought my trusty camera was part of me, like a hand or a leg. But having a semi-organized file of pictures available sure has come in handy when trying to remember people or events at the park. As in this case. How many would know or remember "Richard Gregory?"

But everyone remembers the cheerful fellow in these pictures, right?
